Finish Line: MGM Resorts parking lot (Starting point)

Volunteers: We need volunteers to help with Water and generally provide first aid cover. I request some of our members who are NOT running to pitch in and help the runners. Join us as a volunteer and feel the thrill....

Change Clothes: Carry change clothes with you as you will need it after the run. Also, if you want to take dip in the sea you might need change clothes.

Emergency Information: Pl. do not forget to carry emergency information with you all the time (Name, Age, Blood Group, Emergency Contact Information, Known Allergies)

Entry Fee: INR 250. This is to defray the cost of water, snack, first aid and fuel cost and breakfast.--

Safety First: Please note that we do not have any safety net in terms of ambulance & insurance etc.. All of us running at our own volition and it is important to adhere to safety norms at all occasions.

  1. CARRY emergency information with you all the time
  2. ALWAYS run on 'right side of the Road' facing the traffic. In doubt, slow down, let the traffic pass.
  3. BUDDY up with a runner amenable with your pace and stick with them through out the run
  4. DO NOT run abreast. Run in a single file or max TWO at any given time.
  5. YIELD to traffic - Chennai traffic is unrelenting and does not stop for runners or pedestrians... So, yield to traffic.
  6. DO NOT run if you are not medically fit. You and your physician are the only folks who can counsel you on that. Consult your doctor and listen to your body before embarking on the run.
  7. STOP running and seek medical help if you feel uncomfortable at anytime during the run.
